Welcome to Trekking Wild
My name is Matt Vittal, and I am glad you are here. I invite you to explore this website, watch our videos, and follow along on our adventures. Our goal is to inspire, inform, and provide the confidence you need to tackle your next adventure. Whether it’s hiking, backpacking, or overlanding, we want to help you enjoy the outdoors.
Throughout our website, you will find guides and reviews of specific hikes, backpacking trips, and overlanding adventures. In our blog, you will find articles with helpful tips, gear reviews, and outdoor news.
Conservation and Location Sharing
I consider myself a conservationist. The places and activities I love require a clean environment, access to our public lands, and abundant, healthy wildlife populations. I support great organizations like Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership.
With that in mind, exact locations will only be given if a hike or backpacking route is already widely publicized on a site like AllTrails. For overlanding campsite locations and lesser-known backpacking routes, I will share the general area but not the exact location. This should provide enough information for you to find the location with a little additional research.
Please always practice leave no trace and leave it better than you found it.
